Jason Statham fans have already been enjoying a wonderful month with The Mechanic‘s streaming success, but October is about to get even better. Peacock has announced that Furious 7, the highest-rated installment in the franchise, will begin streaming on the platform on October 16. The film follows Deckard Shaw as he seeks revenge against Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family for his comatose brother. Furious 7 is also the last time the late Paul Walker appeared in the franchise as Brian O’Conner, after previously starring in five of the six Fast & Furious movies, except Tokyo Drift. In addition to Statham, Diesel, and Walker, Furious 7 also stars Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Gal Gadot, and Kurt Russell, and the film currently sits at an 81% score from critics and an 82% rating from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
Furious 7 joins seven other Fast & Furious movies that are currently streaming on the platform, missing only the Johnson and Statham-led spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw, and The Fate of the Furious. Furious 7 was directed by James Wan, with Gary Scott Thompson and Chris Morgan writing the screenplay. Morgan made his Fast & Furious debut in 2006 on Tokyo Drift, and has since worked on six Fast & Furious movies and, more recently, Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Thompson wrote the script for the original Fast & Furious movie, and has since received a writing credit on each subsequent film. Wan is a horror director best known for his work on films such as Insidious and Saw, and he most recently ventured into the comic book world to direct Jason Momoa in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
